True, however...

...^this won't fly, because this function is supposed to return the XML valid
at the time the managedsave was performed. If you e.g. attach a disk to the
inactive XML in the meantime, your changes will mean that managedsave-dumpxml
will return the current config along with the new attached disk, which is
incorrect, so you indeed need to make use of the private data.
Because of ^this I think there's no need to review patch 2 at the moment.
